Actress Alexandra Daddario is the female lead in Texas Chainsaw 3D (opening Friday), and during a recent interview she claims there is a bit of “twist” to the story and adds that her character has a bit of a dark side. It’s Daddario’s hugest role to date, and she admits that stepping into such an iconic franchise was an intimidating proposition.

“I was really excited about this project and also a little nervous jumping into it knowing it’s been around for thirty plus years,” says Daddario, who previously starred in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief. “I worked really hard to try to make the film as great and scary as I could make it.”
